Buy this if you are: Just dating

This is good for the just-just dating — the time when you're extra aware of the loaded meaning any word/look/touch/gift will have on your potential new squeeze, because while King Tuff’s stoner garage pop is unarguably awesome, it runs no risk of unintentionally telling your new girl “I’m sickly, disgustingly, creepily in love with you” (if that’s what you’re after, may we suggest a mix featuring Beach House, Purity Ring and a lot of Chicago).
